Understanding Your Child’s Struggles Starts Here
It can be overwhelming to see your child struggle and not know how to help.
You might be wondering:
These concerns don’t need to keep you up at night.
Find Peace of Mind with Clear Answers and a Plan for Your Child.
When you finally get clear answers about what your child is experiencing, you’ll be able to provide the exact support they need to do their best.
The unique expertise of an Educational Psychologist can make sense of your child’s learning, behavior, or emotional challenges. When appropriate, they can provide a diagnosis and a clear, personalized plan for the services and accommodations your child needs at school and at home.
Your Guide in Turning Challenges into Growth
Every child learns and grows in their own way. I provide evaluations and guidance that honor your child’s strengths while addressing challenges—so families gain understanding, practical tools, and confidence to help their child flourish at school, home, and beyond.
With over a decade of experience working in both school district and county office settings, I’ve supported individuals with a wide range of learning needs—from mild academic challenges to more complex developmental and adaptive differences.
Having grown up with parents who faced language barriers, I understand the challenges families encounter when navigating the school system. I am fluent in English and Spanish and dedicated to providing bilingual, culturally responsive services that empower families.
Together, we will celebrate your child’s unique brain and equip them with tools that will serve them for a lifetime.
